“for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase” press release

The award goes to Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak.

The problem of telomere/telomerases is highlighting the double but strictly related aging/cancer problem space:

    I think they must get the nobel because their ability and experience

  6. I just now came through Yahoo and had to express gratitude after reading these details. I’m going to be sure to email this to one of my coworkers.

    That nobel is make thats person be more creative

  12. Its great to read about the on going fight and research being carried out against cancer. This award was deserved.

  13. Journaled filesystems were of course the earlier fad. In this mechanism a copy of any metadata and sometimes data that is to be modified is kept in a journal, a fixed area of the disk or another disk, that logs each modification. In this mechanism the journal is replayed on reboot and the filesystem is left in a consistent state. The problem with journaling is either it’s very simple and uses a tremendous amount of space and I/O with a strict transaction model that prevents some concurrency, or it becomes incredibly complex, to the tune of over 20,000 lines of code in xfs. Still I have questions about concurrency when multiple transactions affect a block in xfs, but I need to dig deeper to understand this.

    As millions of people who want to lose weight, but youDid he can not succeed in a kind of worry about your weight yanıyorsunuz more?
